Chapter 332: Prince Cheng’s belly is getting bigger! Is she pregnant?

"It's almost time, isn't Mother dressed yet?"

When Lin Siqiong heard the voice, she subconsciously turned her head and saw Tuoba Ruoli walking in.

Tuoba Ruoli didn't wear much jewelry, but what she wore was the court dress that belonged to the Crown Princess.

The golden color almost stung Lin Siqiong's eyes.

At this moment, she lost all interest in dressing up.

No matter how beautifully she dressed or how many jewels she wore, they could not compare to the clothes on Tuoba Ruoli that represented power.

And that should have originally belonged to her!

Lin Siqiong took a deep look at him, then slowly retracted her gaze, "Okay, let's go!"

Tuoba Ruoli took in all of Lin Siqiong's reactions, her smile growing even brighter. "Mother, do you think my clothes look better? It's a pity this is the Crown Princess's attire, and Mother can't wear it! It's all thanks to me that Mother isn't being scolded by everyone right now. If you're still jealous of me, wouldn't that mean you can't even repay my kindness? That wouldn't be good!"

With every word Tuoba Ruoli said, Lin Siqiong's face became uglier.

In the end, his face turned ashen.

"Is that how you talk to your mother?"

Tuoba Ruoli raised an eyebrow. "Then how does mother want me to talk to you? Could it be that mother wants to be like father? After being beaten, father became much more obedient! It seems that not only filial sons but also honest parents are born under the stick. Mother wants to try that?"

Although Lin Siqiong was angry, she couldn't be tough in the face of such a Tuoba Ruoli.

There is no benefit for her in confronting Tuoba Ruoli now.

But she just felt strange.

Tuoba Ruoli's attitude towards her had improved a lot before, and the two of them got along pretty well during this period.

Why did Tuoba Ruoli's attitude suddenly change?

This is too weird!

Tuoba Ruoli naturally knew what Lin Siqiong was wondering about, but she had no intention of explaining.

The relationship with Lin Siqiong had eased before because Lin Siqiong was honest.

But now, Lin Siqiong goes out for social events every now and then. What does she want to do?

This is fine in Dayong.

If Lin Siqiong is still like this after returning to Xiliang, will she still be able to hold on to her position as the Crown Princess?

Until now, she still doesn't know what her mother-in-law's attitude towards Lin Siqiong is.

She could only...press Lin Siqiong down before going back.

Until Lin Siqiong was afraid of her when she saw her. Even when she returned to Xiliang and met her mother-in-law, she did not dare to go against her.

The mother and daughter had different thoughts and walked out of the Royal Inn together.

Just as Lin Siqiong was about to follow Tuoba Ruoli into the carriage, she was stopped by someone.

Tuoba Ruoli lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked at Lin Siqiong calmly, "Mother, please go to the back! This is not the place for you to sit."

Although no one was looking at her directly, after hearing Tuoba Ruoli's words, Lin Siqiong always felt that everyone around her was secretly looking at her and secretly laughing at her.

After taking a deep breath, Lin Siqiong walked towards the carriage behind.

Compared with Tuoba Ruoli's carriage, it is not an exaggeration to say that this carriage is for servants.

Tuoba Ruoli really doesn't care about the mother-daughter relationship at all!

Even at this time, he didn't forget to humiliate her in public!

Sitting in the carriage, Lin Siqiong's face looked extremely ugly, and there was a storm in her eyes.

-

Yu Youning entered the palace with Yu Tingwan and others.

When he arrived at the palace, he first met the queen. After chatting with her for a while, they went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony where the birthday banquet was held.

Quite a few people have already arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The entire Hall of Supreme Harmony was decorated magnificently, with the clinking of glasses and the sound of stringed instruments and orchestras filling the air.

The emperor had not arrived yet, so everyone was relatively relaxed, and some even gathered in groups of three or four to talk.

Seeing the queen coming with her people, everyone stopped talking, returned to their seats and paid their respects to the queen.

As soon as the Queen took her seat, Prince Cheng looked over at her. "On such an important day today, why didn't the Queen come with the Emperor? Why did she come alone? Could it be that the Queen and the Emperor had a quarrel?"

This is a very impolite statement, even presumptuous.

The Queen didn't get angry, but simply glanced at Prince Cheng calmly. "Why did Prince Cheng only bring two concubines with him today? Where's Princess Cheng? Is she feeling unwell? Should I send a royal physician to check on her?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Queen."

He said thank you, but his tone and expression did not show any respect.

"But there's no need. The princess is just old and has become a little petty lately. That's why she got herself sick. Don't worry about her. She'll be fine on her own."

Saying this to his princess in public can be said to be giving her no face at all.

Yu Tingwan frowned, "How could this Prince Cheng be so out of tune!"

Husband and wife are supposed to support each other, not to mention that Princess Cheng and Prince Cheng are a young couple.

Even though she knew that Prince Cheng was infertile and that she would not have children of her own if she married him, Princess Cheng still married him resolutely despite her family's opposition and stayed with him for so many years.

But in the end, Prince Cheng actually said this to her in front of everyone.

The civil and military officials obviously did not expect that Prince Cheng would actually say this. They looked at each other, lowered their heads and dared not breathe, pretending that they were not there.

If there wasn't a hole in the ground, they would have even wanted to crawl right in.

The smile on the queen's face faded, and her eyes became colder and colder.

Just at this moment, the emperor came with Chu Huaixu.

Everyone quickly stood up and saluted the emperor and the prince.

After sitting down again, the emperor looked at the queen with interest, "Queen, I saw you were talking to Prince Cheng just now, what were you talking about?"

The queen smiled at the emperor and said, "I saw that Princess Cheng didn't come today, so I expressed my concern." Prince Cheng said that she was sick, so she didn't come.

"Since you are sick, you should rest well. Your health is the most important thing."

The emperor said this lightly, revealing the matter.

Today is the emperor's birthday, so some powerful people will naturally present gifts to the emperor in person.

As for those who hold lower official positions and have little influence, they naturally do not have this honor.

The first person to present a gift was Chu Huaixu.

As the crown prince, the gift Chu Huaixu prepared could only be described as mediocre.

It is not outstanding, nor eye-catching, and it does not steal the show.

The emperor was watching with a chuckle, when Prince Cheng sneered, "The Crown Prince is the heir apparent after all. How could the Crown Prince offer such a small gift on the Emperor's birthday? If you didn't know, you'd think the Crown Prince didn't care about the Emperor and wasn't paying any attention to this at all!"

After Prince Cheng said this, many ministers lowered their heads again.

Although they didn't dare show it on their faces, they all felt strange in their hearts.

What happened to Prince Cheng today?

Why would they choose a day like this to be so arrogant?

If I stir up trouble like this and anger the emperor, how will it end?

These people won't be implicated by this, right?

The emperor looked at Prince Cheng with a sharp gaze, "Prince Cheng, since you said so, I think you have prepared a very good gift for me, right?"

"Of course!" King Cheng said as a matter of course.

"Then present it to us!"

After the emperor finished speaking, Prince Cheng looked at the person standing not far behind him and said, "Go and present the birthday gift I prepared!"

After hearing King Cheng's instructions, the man came out with a tray.

Prince Cheng watched with interest, picked up the wine glass in front of him, drank the wine in it, and the smile on his lips became brighter and brighter.

But at this moment, Prince Cheng suddenly felt that something seemed to move in his stomach.

Could it be that I have a stomachache?

Prince Cheng was somewhat puzzled, but he did not think that the emperor would dare to poison him in such an occasion.

Or was it just an illusion?

The next moment, something in my stomach jumped again.

The feeling this time was even clearer than last time, and even if Prince Cheng wanted to ignore it, he couldn't.

Prince Cheng frowned and looked down at his belly, and was shocked to find that his belly was growing rapidly!

The speed was so fast that it happened in the blink of an eye, just like a woman who was ten months pregnant!

The change came so suddenly, in the blink of an eye, that no one could react to what was happening.

When they saw clearly, Prince Chen had already stood up with a terrified look on his face and a big belly.

Although the emperor knew what was going on, knowing it in the heart and seeing it with his own eyes are two completely different things.

After seeing this scene, the emperor widened his eyes in shock.

"What...what's going on? Prince Cheng, what's wrong with you?" the emperor asked.

Prince Cheng only felt something moving around in his stomach, but he didn't know what it was, nor did he feel any pain.

But the scene before him made him feel terrified.

After hearing the emperor's question, Prince Cheng shook his head repeatedly, "Your Majesty, I don't know what's going on either... Where's the imperial physician? Yu Youning! Yu Youning, come here quickly and let me see you!"

Yu Youning sat there motionless. After hearing what King Cheng said, she simply tilted her head and said, "Your belly is so big, are you pregnant?"

"Nonsense!" Prince Cheng shouted angrily. "I'm a man. How can a man get pregnant? You're known as a miracle doctor, and you don't even know about this?"

Yu Youning blinked her big eyes. "Isn't the Princess of Xiliang also known as the Little Miracle Doctor? And she is also deeply trusted by Prince Cheng. You should let her take a look at you! Otherwise, even if I take a look at you, you won't believe me!"

Prince Cheng really didn't believe Yu Youning.

After all, Yu Youning and the prince are too close!

"Your Highness!"

Prince Cheng looked at Tuoba Ruoli.

"Your Highness, please help me see what is going on!"

Tuoba Ruoli frowned slightly, feeling that the situation before her was beyond her expectations, making her feel uneasy for no reason.
